Leo monthly horoscope
October 2026
Leo, October begins with the Sun in your third house and ends with it in your fourth: conversations, errands, siblings and neighbours, then home, family and where you feel safe.
Sun sextile Jupiter, across your third and first houses
An easy angle runs from your third house to your first: the Sun and Jupiter give each other a hand this month, so a little effort on how you carry yourself into a room goes a long way.
November 2026
Next month’s reading. Still in October? Read Leo in October 2026.
In November, Leo, the Sun lights your fourth house until 22 November; after that it moves to your fifth, romance, play and what you make for the joy of it.
Mars conjunction Jupiter, in your first house
Mars sits with Jupiter in your first house this month. What you begin around a decision only you can make now carries weight.

Where the planets are for you
Mercury in your fourth house
Mercury in your fourth house keeps your mind on home, family and where you feel safe; talk about the corner of your home you keep meaning to sort rather than around it.
Venus in your fourth house, retrograde
This month Venus warms your fourth house, so be generous with an evening in. Venus is retrograde, so treat home, family and where you feel safe as a review rather than new ground.
Mars in your first house
Mars pushes energy into your first house this month: good for starting things around the first impression you make, less good for patience.
Jupiter in your first house
With Jupiter in your first house, the first impression you make can grow this month. Say yes to the larger version.
Saturn in your ninth house, retrograde
With Saturn in your ninth house, the bigger picture of where you are heading needs structure more than enthusiasm. Saturn is retrograde, so treat travel, study, belief and the bigger picture as a review rather than new ground.
